Some additional adds, magazine covers and old graphics from the 1940's that I posted a while back. Dad had hundreds of these type adds and old magazines for years which unfortunately disappeared over the years.

The Nash Corsair ad looks like the prototype with the pilot further forward and non firing cowl guns though it does have four firing wing guns as well.
The range of posters is great and underlines how the USA achieved it's crushing production output by transferring from domestic goods to military.

The B-10 certainly went to war though not with that model number. The Dutch had as many as 58 of them as model 139WH3 and 3A in the East Indies and they were part of the various airforces in South East Asia destroyed by the Japanese. "Bloody Shambles" tells the sad tale.
